I have discovered
That as long
As I’m living
I am learning
Sometimes it’s joyful
And sometimes painful
Change can hurt
And often does
Reaching for sun
Or the stars
Stretching and touching
Them can burn
But that’s life
Isn’t it really
I have discovered
That as long
As I’m living
I am learning
Sometimes it’s joyful
And sometimes painful
Change can hurt
And often does
Reaching for sun
Or the stars
Stretching and touching
Them can burn
But that’s life
Isn’t it really
Tell me
Does love
Not live
Right here
You Me
Tell me
Do not
Turn away
But please
Tell me
Is not
You and
I love
The trees shed
Bark like I
Shed lies here
I am stuck
Here I am
Against cold January
Skies ashen with
Soot of snowfall
Drop on me
These blessing snowflakes
So I might
Just remember spring
Is it my
Job to destroy
Those things I
Love or maybe
Make them better
So that you
Love them too
Bean and Boo
I did love
Love me back
They did not
And so I
With an eye
Towards love say
This be mine
Or forever more
Be mine oh
Come on it
Is a poem
The best prison
Allows one thought
And that boo
You have brought
Me how we
Are not alike
How maybe oneday
You might understand
Until then understand
That I was
You 30 years
Ago before I
Was ever me
